Chapter II: Crowding Out

Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang were really embarrassed, although according to the usual practice, the political envoy was only one level lower than the governor, and the envoy was only two levels lower, but the emperor's strange handling made their grades and official positions almost disproportionate, so in front of Song Junxian, both of them were a little uneasy.

"Lord Guo, Lord Lu, this official will not be wordy. In Fujian, many officials at the top are extremely dissatisfied, and the two of them can keep their official positions, which is the emperor's compassion, and even the promotion of this official is also the emperor's consideration. If we want to keep our official position, I'm afraid we have to do something, otherwise, we will have to go to the end. Song Jun sneered again and again, "Don't say dark words in front of real people, no matter what the previous political achievements of the two are, all in all, within a month, the people who are still displaced must be properly resettled, and there can be no more displaced people in Fujian, this is one of them." He paused, and looked at Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang with satisfaction, with a slightly sweaty expression.

"Second, Fujian's merchants have business all over the world, whether they are Japanese merchants or Yi people, they are all talkable, but how much tax have these giant merchants paid over the years? The official checked the tax books of Fujian over the years, and it seems that there are many unclear accounts, and it seems that Lord Nie has greatly neglected this in the past. Therefore, the second thing that this official did when he took office was to impose strict taxes on such merchants, which had already been clearly stated by the imperial court, and they must not dare to be too presumptuous, so they also asked the two to help. Song Junxian's tone was not so much a request as an order.

Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang glanced at each other, and gasped at the same time. This new governor really has a big appetite enough to dare to touch those people? They couldn't help but make up their minds about Song Junxian's requirements, such a governor who didn't know the times, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long to do it, and even the prince didn't dare to do it, he actually dared to do it, it was simply beyond his power.

"Lord Song is the constitution of the two of us, and the lower officials should obey the orders of the adults." Guo Han bowed slightly and replied respectfully.

Song Junxian nodded slightly, "The official has thanked me here." Third, it is to measure the real ownerless fields after the disaster, after the flood in Fujian, the people have been killed and injured countless times, and there must be many empty fields. The government must hoard these fields as soon as possible, and sell a portion of the suitable ones to the common people. The rest can be hired to be cultivated by next spring, so that the poor can also be provided with a livelihood. After the price of the land rises, it should be gradually sold at a higher price, which should also be able to make up for the large deficit in Fujian's official treasury. ”

This one is even more remarkable, and the words are not wrong at all, but in Fujian, after the catastrophe, it is the time when the land annexation is at its worst, and who will spit out what has been eaten in his mouth. It was true that the Yue family had vomited, but they had already heard about the incident one after another from Feng Wuji's mouth, and naturally knew that it was just a transaction. Alas, they are all errands that offend people, and they already have some doubts about whether Song Junxian was squeezed out by the gang in Hubei. After all, they are in the officialdom, and the bigwigs above are all eyeing and protecting their own people, only cautious, how dare they come so nonsense.

"Lord Song has an order, and the lower officials will naturally obey it." Lu Simang replied firmly, he was not as good as Guo Hanjin at the surface, so he would be easily fooled at the beginning, "It's just that there is no basis for what I said, and I asked my lord to issue a constitutional decree and let the servants post notices." ”

This trick can be described as extremely poisonous, so that even if Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang participate in these measures, they can shirk Song Junxian. Guo Hanjin secretly said quickly, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the new governor, looking forward to his response.

Song Junxian has been in the officialdom for many years, how can he not know the dirty thoughts of the two. However, his lifelong wish is to be a famous minister, so no matter where he is an official, he is disgusting. In his opinion, if the situation is stabilized, the emperor will not only praise him, but also the greater the possibility of becoming the center in the future. It was a big gamble, and he didn't want to go back easily.

"Very good, the official immediately asked the master to draft the text, and the sooner the notice goes, the sooner the chaos in Fujian can be resolved." Song Jun said in a calm voice, he came to Fujian this time, and he didn't bring a few other people, but the master moved the entire team of Huguangbu political envoys, a full six people, "The two of you should also prepare as soon as possible, I think I will be busy these days." ”

The next few days were a burst of chickens and dogs, and everyone in Fujian knew that a stunned young governor was sent from above, although he was not young, and the officials were getting bigger and bigger, but how strange this thing was. The three items on the notice were not understood by ordinary people, scholars did not think so, and businessmen and landlords gritted their teeth with hatred. Feng Wuxian has received a lot of greetings one after another, but he thinks to himself that Song Junxian is not a person who is easy to turn back, and he can only watch him reshuffle Fujian with a cold eye.

However, this prince is almost unmoving, and the others will not sit and wait for death. Those big landlords had a severing relationship with the big people in Beijing, and they asked the door to go to Beijing early to do some trouble, and they actually said that a governor with clean sleeves was corrupt and perverted the law, and did all kinds of evil. As for the businessmen, they have died down, clamoring that business is difficult to do, and they have stopped all the things on the surface, but secretly stepped up their pace. All in all, Song Junxian's pace was progressing extremely slowly.

"Your Highness."

It was only half a month's work, and Feng Wuxian found that Song Junxian seemed to be a lot older, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, it is undeniable that this governor is of the highest grade in terms of temperament and ethics, and the strategies proposed are indeed feasible. However, Fujian's muddy water is too deep, and if you are not careful, it will be completely lost. As a newcomer, he was overly anxious.

"Lord Song, sit down." Feng Wuxi's tone was still as indifferent as ever, "These days, you have worked hard. ”

Song Junxian only felt a warmth in his heart, and the people outside just gave him a look on his face, and the few masters he was used to even had pickers, and he submitted his resignation at this juncture, which made him so depressed. A master who is old enough even secretly persuaded him to stop, but how can he be willing to do this?

"Your Highness is serious. Since the lower officials are leading the post of governor and enjoying the court's benefits, they have to be conscientious and conscientious, and they dare not live up to the emperor's trust. Song Jun said with a straight face, "The lower officials came today to ask for something, and I hope His Royal Highness will allow it." ”

"What's the matter?" Feng Wuxian was a little vigilant, although he still admired Song's personality, but he didn't want to get involved easily, after all, although he, the prince of Qincha, had the right to supervise, but after the governor had taken office, he interfered in local government affairs, and he had to be played by the imperial history.

"Your Highness, can you send a post to invite the principals of the Yue family and the Luo family?" Song Junxian's expression was a little helpless, "The lower officials have invited them to come over the house several times to narrate, but they are all small characters who can't be masters, and the old ones are hiding behind, and none of them will say a word." The merchants of Fujian, the head of the two families of Yueluo, if they can't settle down, the rest of the people will not abide by the law. ”

Feng Wuxian couldn't help but have a feeling of irony, Song Junxian's original intention was really good, but what kind of frame the Yueluo family was, when Guo Hanjin and Lu Simang went to visit together, they still touched the nail, he just sent a post to invite, and the result is of course self-evident. "Zizhen, this king takes the liberty to persuade you. Although the two Yueluo families are businessmen, there are not a few officials. Although there are many restrictions on the descendants of businessmen as officials, this is not the case for such giant families. Your shelves are too big, can these people be moved? Feng Wuxian suddenly called Song Junxian the word, and his expression became more kind, "When you first came to Fujian, you have already made countless enemies, and in the long run, I am afraid that you will be dissatisfied with your subordinates!" ”

"Your Highness, the officials are the officials, and the people are the people, and they should all abide by their duties. Those descendants of businessmen are officials, which originally violated the ancestral system of our dynasty, and I, as the officials of my parents, are particularly respectful to them, and there is no distinction between the upper and lower levels. Song Junxian's expression almost reminded Feng Wuxian of those old masters who were shouting at adulthood, "Your Highness is a nobleman, how can you follow those previous officials in Fujian?" No matter how powerful the Yueluo family is, how can they cover the sky with one hand, and the lower officials will never believe that they dare to resist the imperial court! ”

In addition to being pedantic or pedantic, Feng Wuxian finally understood why the bigwigs in the court sent such a person as Song Junxian. In recent years, there are not many people who abide by the distinction between the top and the bottom, and if Song Junxian's temperament continues, maybe Fujian will really be shuffled from above. Can't stand still, Feng Wuxian said secretly, his face suddenly turned heavy, "Today, there are too few people like Zizhen, okay, this king will take care of it and be a host for you!" ”

Song Jun was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, but the ceremony didn't continue. Feng Wuxian took his hand and said with a pun: "It's also for the sake of Sheji, so Zizhen doesn't need to be polite." It is the duty of the governor to think carefully about the words of this king, and to benefit the people. ”

"The lower officials are carefully taught." Song Jun took a few steps back and respectfully slammed to the ground, "The lower official will take his leave and wait for the good news of His Royal Highness." ”

Feng Wuxian watched Song Junxian leave with a complicated expression, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. "Little Fangzi!" He shouted, "Call Mianying to come in for this king!" ”

Mianying walked into the room with a plan and bowed calmly. It has been some time since he changed his master, and he was good at observing words and feelings, and he quickly figured out the temperament of this noble prince, and he didn't like people who were too servile, so he naturally positioned himself as the superior among the slaves. Which people the master trusts the most, what he likes the most, and who he hates the most, although it can't be said to be very certain, but it also confirms eight points. In his opinion, it is quite an odd for a person like himself who has followed the old master to get the trust he has now.

After quietly listening to his master's instructions, Mianying's face hardly showed any surprise, and he glanced at Feng Wuxian with a little admiration, "Your Highness, rest assured, the slave will definitely live up to his mission." He bowed his head and replied, "It's just the Luo family, maybe I want Mr. Shi to go again." ”

"Mianying, you are a talent." Feng Wuxian said softly when Mianying stepped out of the door, "If you can really satisfy this king, this king will definitely give you a future." ”

Mianying was shocked, and said in an almost imperceptible voice, "The servant remembers His Highness's words." ”
